CHART.

Application led November 1, 1923. Serial No. 672,056.

and State of New York, have invented new and useful Charts, of which thefollowing is a complete specification.

My invention relates to illustrative charts in general. I have conceiveda means whereby such charts may be used individually and collectively togreat advantage. I have de'- signed a series of su erimposed charts sothat on each individua chart is represented a unit or integral part ofthe entirety. I

1l `have su erimposed these charts and cut out parts o the uppermostcharts so that the Super osition of individual charts gives a unifi viewof the whole or assembled ob- 'ect. J This educational series of chartsenables me to show in detail eachv part 'of a. large object withoutdisturbing its relation to the entirety. It also enables me to showthedetailed ob'ect with the necessary descriptive matter a on oneindividual sheet with a great saving of s ace.

In many cases, combine these charts into the form of a book. 1

A second feature is that I may, in the design and construction of such aseries of charts, transfer this view to the edge or ter-l minal partof asheet and thus have the view serve as an index also. It means in short,a combined index and unied picture.

Some objects lend themselves Particularly.

to representation inthe terms o a so-called exploded view. My method ofcombining the index of the series of charts with the assembled view isalso applicable in sucl 40 cases.

In using charts of this ty e made -by my method I fre uently use botfront of the olli ces etc., in the charts whether on the obverse orreverse lside and I consider this an other step in my invention.

It must be understood that extra sheets or leaves may beinterposedbetween adjacent views without disturbing the utility of themethod.

the back andV art, utilizing all indices. orificharts such as might beused for classroom display in a large size or for book use in a smallersiz.

Fig. 4, shows page 3 individually.

Fig. 5, shows the last page individually'.

Fig. 6, shows a book composed of my charts. with the index.

Fig. 7, shows the'same book opened t about the middle showing howbothsides of the index are used. This shows a so called exploded view but anordinary view may lbe used if desired.

Fig. 8, shows a book of superimposed se; ries opened. In this case theindex is sepa- In this bookthe figure is combined rate, but the methodof utilizing the sidesof` i the page can readily be seen.

Fig. 9, shows another type of chart. E In Fi 1, the pa es A, arefastened by the rings in the ho es B. lThe figure D is shown by thesuper-position of four succes-v ages marked by. the index E, F, G,.-

sive and v In Fig. 2, is shown the Jfirst page with the section I cutaway to expose the views beneath it. Descriptive matter as desired addedtothe page as shown.

In Fig. 3, is shown the detail of the an-y chcred section of the bridgeJ,1the part K being removed so as not to cover the detail viewsunderneath the F page. It Iwill be noted that the descriptivematter isplaced immediately adjacent the part'under consideration. v l

the opening N remainin to expose thepicture on the last page. 'medescriptive mat` ter O ertains chiefly to span M.

In ig. 5, the free end of the'bridge P, with itsf'oundation isconsidered.. The descriptive matter lis indicated 'at Q.

In Fi' 6, the method is shown applied to a book ,having pages S. Herethe index T is shown in conjunction with a view of the object. On eachindicated-page is descriptive matter pertaining to the matter indexed.

In Fig. 7, the same book is shown opened to demonstrate the utilizationof both sides of the index. l y

pages may be inserted from FF up to but not beyond HH. These short pagesin no way interfere with the assembled or detail views. It will be notedalso that as the larger pages are turned over, asin reading, thevassembled pictures on the right hand margin is reduced while theassembled picture on the left extremity of the book is built up. v

In Fig. 8, is shown a book of a superimposed series with the indexseparate to show how, on the reverse side of the page the orifices areutilized to advantage.

Fig. 9, shows a special form of combined index and chart.

DD shows the binding ofthe book. Z is the first page of reading` matter.AA shows part of the apartment, this being the assem- BB shows anotherpar't of the apartment, and CC, the bottom page, shows still another.Now, there is shown, an apartment. If details of the dining room aredesired, it is only necessary to turn to page vBB to get them for thereading matter there is concerned only with dining room and both.Obviously, other sub-divisions might be made of such of floor-plan.

Fig. l0, shows a combined index and chart in which the chart is cut toaccommodate a given contour. The general description of the body isfirst iven in this series of charts. To refer to detalls such as head,arms, legs, it is necessary to turn to such pages as the correspondingpicture is part of'. Thus the body shown consists of a series ofdetailed drawings, lower legs, upper legs, body (or trunk), arms andhead, all properly superimposed and operatively connected together.Letus consider the use of the first series of charts in Figs. 1 to 5. Wehave here a complete picture of a bridge with descriptive matter on thewhole bridge where it reads A simple R. R. bridge etc. (Fig. 2). Y

Thu-s we are familiarized with the general statements of the bridge as aunit on the first page.r Now assume we wish to learn details of one end,the anchored end. lCnr index guides to chart Fig. 3. The other chartsare turned back on rings C, exposing the detailed information on theanchored end always keeping the anchored ends in its proper relation tothe entire bridge.

It must be understood that I might apply these ideas to maps, charts ofmachinery and countless other objects without departing from the spiritof this invention.

What I claim and what I desire to secure United States Letters Patentfor is:

1. Graphical charts consisting of detailed views adapted to besuperposed, each of which contain one or more detail elements, saiddetailed views adapted to be assembled into a unified picture; in whichseries each detailed view is accompanied by descriptive matter.

2. Graphical charts consisting of detailed views adapted to besuperposed, each of. i

. said detail views adapted to be assembled into a unified picture; inwhich the said picture is also an index.

4. Graphical charts consisting of detailed views adapted to besuperposed, each of which contain one or more detail elements, saiddetail views adapted to be assembled into a unified picture; combinedwith which is an index; which index is directly asso-v ciated with theunified' picture, each designation corresponding to/an associated detailview being part of the page containing said corresponding detail view.

5. Graphical charts consisting of detailed views adapted to besuperposed; each of which contain one or more detail elements, saiddetail views adapted to be assembled into a unified picture; in whichseries of superimposed detail views both obverse and reverse sides ofthe illustrations are utilized to form one unified picture each.

G. Graphical charts consisting of detailed views adapted to besuperposed, each of which contain one or more detail elements, saiddetail views adapted to be assembled into a unified picture; combinedwith which Yis an index; which index yis directly associated with theunified picture, each designation corresponding to an associated detailView being part of the page containing said corresponding detail v1ew;in which series of superimposed illustrations both obverse and reversesides of the index are utilized.

7. Graphical charts consisting ofi-detailed views adapted to besuperposed,` each of which contain one or more detail elements, saiddetail views adapted to be assembled into a unified picture; combinedwith which is an index; which index may be superimposed upon the unifiedpicture, each designation corresponding -to an associated detail view;in which series of superimposed illustrations both obverse and reversesides of the index are utilized; in which series the index may be so cutas to represent the object depicted.

In witness whereof I hereunto subscribe my' name this 22nd day ofAugust, 1923.
